Yellow Fork Canyon Trail is a 6.8 mile heavily trafficked loop trail located near Herriman, Utah that features a river and is rated as moderate. The trail offers a number of activity options and is best used from March until October. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
This is a very nice trail system that gradually climbs its way to a ridge line with fantastic views of the Oquirrh mountains and the Salt Lake Valley.
Small trailhead parking area often filled with trucks pulling horse trailers
January 17, 2021We saw very few people on our way and had a great time! There was enough sun most of the way. Beautiful views of the city.
January 5, 2021The entire trail is covered in snow, but it's not very deep. I wore snow boots and that was fine. I didn't need spikes or snow shoes. It's absolutely beautiful! I only saw a couple people on the trail in the places closer to the parking lot. Further out, I was the only one.
January 3, 2021took a secondary trail. was very steep but fun and gorgeous views. went on a winter day, so there were few people. i was grateful to have boots with good traction
December 31, 2020steep climb at first but worth the hassle
December 28, 2020December 27, 2020December 7, 2020November 15, 2020November 15, 2020November 13, 2020Pretty! Few people on the mountain with cloudy day. Saw wild turkeys and deer.
November 4, 2020October 23, 2020October 17, 2020Nice trail, although much of the trail is covered in fall leaves making it harder to know where you are. I suggest keeping the all trails map running to avoid getting lost.
October 6, 2020Lots of horse and cow dung, but awesome views and a good trail!
October 3, 2020Great
September 27, 2020Tricky to follow. Be sure to download a map before going. Several offshoots along the way that caused me some detours. Shaded early on, then out in the sun as you get to higher elevation on the trail. Pretty views. I ran on this trail--not too steep for that. I went counter clockwise then clockwise. Not sure one way is better.
September 25, 2020great hike, just strenuous enough for a good burn and pretty view at the top.
September 12, 2020Did the whole Loop. I’ve done it both in snow and in Fall. Honestly like it MUCH better in the snow. It’s a great snowshoe trail. Not a great hiking trail
August 28, 2020August 23, 2020August 15, 2020July 30, 2020Lovely trail . Went in the evening and saw deers and cows. The cows were kinda aggressive . Did about 2 miles in and the elevation gain was not much. Perfect for kids as it’s wide, has animals to see and sometimes people get thier horses as well.
July 26, 2020Beautiful hike! Came across some cows but the view at the top was absolutely beautiful! It’s a great loop. Has a perfect mix between steep hills and medium relaxing hiking.
July 17, 2020July 3, 2020One of the best local hikes. Beautifully wooded and shaded at the beginning and end. There are also spectacular views of the Oquirrh & Copper Mountains and the South Valley in the middle. It’s a little rocky in the middle section as well, but overall a nice moderate hike.
July 2, 2020Fun hike, not too many people.
